This was by far the hardest shoot... but I won't be using my bonus this round. I get the feeling its just going to get harder from here, and I'm about as satisfied as I can get with this shoot.
Grenade
I'd catch a grenade for you
Throw my hand on a blade for you
I'd jump in front of a train for you
You know I'd do anything for you
Grenade is actually an extremely emotional song. I completely forgot that due to the fact that my local radio station just likes to play the same 5 songs over and over again and one day they decided all 5 of those songs should be Grenade.
It's been a long night and I seriously question my ability to explain this in any way, but basically after rediscovering this song, I realized I needed something strong and bold to match. I think I went through every single image I had to find something with the kind of energy and imagery that I wanted.
I think the pose here, arms stretched out, head raised, reminds me of sacrifice and giving yourself into something, the root of the emotion in the song being unreturned self-sacrifical love. The deep reds here are often used as the color to represent love, but with the movement and energy of the fabric also give the picture the imagery of an explosion, like a grenade going off.
The explosion of energy, the color, the pose, I think everything fits better than I could have ever asked for. I wish I could get ahold of a higher quality version, but I've looked and I cant seem to find it if it exists.
